- Leafnode 2 is an NNTP proxy server intended for small sites, where
- there are few users and little disk space, but where a large number of
- groups is desired. It can also be used to give a regular newsreader
- off-line functionality.
- There is some work to do to install this program effectively, all
- of which is clearly set out in the README file contained in the
- documents. It is strongly advised that you read this file thoroughly
- before installing Leafnode 2. In summary you will need to:
- 1. Ensure $NNTPSERVER or /etc/nntpserver points to 'localhost'.
- 2. Set /etc/inetd.conf so leafnode is executed for incoming NNTP connections.
- 3. Set /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to protect the server.
- 4. Create /etc/leafnode/config and adjust settings as required.
- 5. Set cronjobs for fetchnews and texpire.
- 6. Fetch the newsgroup list from the upstream server.
- 7. Set your newsreader to use 'localhost'.
- This is the non Lua-enabled version of Leafnode 2.
